Johannes Weiner b4a56abdf7 UPSTREAM: mm: workingset: tell cache transitions from workingset thrashing
Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place
thrashing.  Knowing the difference between the two has a range of
applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the
system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure
between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset.

During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out
established active cache.  When that active cache isn't stale, however,
and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing.

Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been
active or not in its lifetime.  This bit is then stored in the shadow
entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing.

How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit?

	20 bits are always page flags

	21 if you have an MMU

	23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable

	29 with the sparsemem section bits

	30 if PAE is enabled

	31 with this patch.

So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes.  If
that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6
or 7 sparsemem section bits.

/*
* Double CLOCK lists
*
* Per node, two clock lists are maintained for file pages: the
* inactive and the active list. Freshly faulted pages start out at
* the head of the inactive list and page reclaim scans pages from the
* tail. Pages that are accessed multiple times on the inactive list
* are promoted to the active list, to protect them from reclaim,
* whereas active pages are demoted to the inactive list when the
* active list grows too big.
*
* fault ------------------------+
* |
* +--------------+ | +-------------+
* reclaim <- | inactive | <-+-- demotion | active | <--+
* +--------------+ +-------------+ |
* | |
* +-------------- promotion ------------------+
*
*
* Access frequency and refault distance
*
* A workload is thrashing when its pages are frequently used but they
* are evicted from the inactive list every time before another access
* would have promoted them to the active list.
*
* In cases where the average access distance between thrashing pages
* is bigger than the size of memory there is nothing that can be
* done - the thrashing set could never fit into memory under any
* circumstance.
*
* However, the average access distance could be bigger than the
* inactive list, yet smaller than the size of memory. In this case,
* the set could fit into memory if it weren't for the currently
* active pages - which may be used more, hopefully less frequently:
*
* +-memory available to cache-+
* | |
* +-inactive------+-active----+
* a b | c d e f g h i | J K L M N |
* +---------------+-----------+
*
* It is prohibitively expensive to accurately track access frequency
* of pages. But a reasonable approximation can be made to measure
* thrashing on the inactive list, after which refaulting pages can be
* activated optimistically to compete with the existing active pages.
*
* Approximating inactive page access frequency - Observations:
*
* 1. When a page is accessed for the first time, it is added to the
* head of the inactive list, slides every existing inactive page
* towards the tail by one slot, and pushes the current tail page
* out of memory.
*
* 2. When a page is accessed for the second time, it is promoted to
* the active list, shrinking the inactive list by one slot. This
* also slides all inactive pages that were faulted into the cache
* more recently than the activated page towards the tail of the
* inactive list.
*
* Thus:
*
* 1. The sum of evictions and activations between any two points in
* time indicate the minimum number of inactive pages accessed in
* between.
*
* 2. Moving one inactive page N page slots towards the tail of the
* list requires at least N inactive page accesses.
*
* Combining these:
*
* 1. When a page is finally evicted from memory, the number of
* inactive pages accessed while the page was in cache is at least
* the number of page slots on the inactive list.
*
* 2. In addition, measuring the sum of evictions and activations (E)
* at the time of a page's eviction, and comparing it to another
* reading (R) at the time the page faults back into memory tells
* the minimum number of accesses while the page was not cached.
* This is called the refault distance.
*
* Because the first access of the page was the fault and the second
* access the refault, we combine the in-cache distance with the
* out-of-cache distance to get the complete minimum access distance
* of this page:
*
* NR_inactive + (R - E)
*
* And knowing the minimum access distance of a page, we can easily
* tell if the page would be able to stay in cache assuming all page
* slots in the cache were available:
*
* NR_inactive + (R - E) <= NR_inactive + NR_active
*
* which can be further simplified to
*
* (R - E) <= NR_active
*
* Put into words, the refault distance (out-of-cache) can be seen as
* a deficit in inactive list space (in-cache). If the inactive list
* had (R - E) more page slots, the page would not have been evicted
* in between accesses, but activated instead. And on a full system,
* the only thing eating into inactive list space is active pages.
*
*
* Refaulting inactive pages
*
* All that is known about the active list is that the pages have been
* accessed more than once in the past. This means that at any given
* time there is actually a good chance that pages on the active list
* are no longer in active use.
*
* So when a refault distance of (R - E) is observed and there are at
* least (R - E) active pages, the refaulting page is activated
* optimistically in the hope that (R - E) active pages are actually
* used less frequently than the refaulting page - or even not used at
* all anymore.
*
* That means if inactive cache is refaulting with a suitable refault
* distance, we assume the cache workingset is transitioning and put
* pressure on the current active list.
*
* If this is wrong and demotion kicks in, the pages which are truly
* used more frequently will be reactivated while the less frequently
* used once will be evicted from memory.
*
* But if this is right, the stale pages will be pushed out of memory
* and the used pages get to stay in cache.
*
* Refaulting active pages
*
* If on the other hand the refaulting pages have recently been
* deactivated, it means that the active list is no longer protecting
* actively used cache from reclaim. The cache is NOT transitioning to
* a different workingset; the existing workingset is thrashing in the
* space allocated to the page cache.
*
*
* Implementation
*
* For each node's file LRU lists, a counter for inactive evictions
* and activations is maintained (node->inactive_age).
*
* On eviction, a snapshot of this counter (along with some bits to
* identify the node) is stored in the now empty page cache radix tree
* slot of the evicted page. This is called a shadow entry.
*
* On cache misses for which there are shadow entries, an eligible
* refault distance will immediately activate the refaulting page.
